Three people are in a dimly lit interior space, discussing the necessity of completing work on the Kansas Pacific railroad before a potential war. One man insists on staying because he and Barbara are needed, while another man listens and then speaks directly to Barbara.
“Well, let's let him have what he wants.” 41:49 · “We'll go back. No, I'm going to stay Barbara because I'm needed and so are you. We've got to finish this before the war begins.” 41:51 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
